    Agreed but in 20's they could challenge calls during play but he's only allowing it for tries in 1st grade.

    I think it's great. They use it in the NFL. I know they have more stoppages than League but it could still work. If you challenge unsuccessfully you get no more challenges.

  Nailed it Josh, my thoughts exactly.

  Agreed. This seems like it might just waist more time. Of course a captains going to challenge if there's the faintest chance that the try might not be allowed. It's the one on one steels and drop balls that need to be challenged. These are the ones where the bunker is so inconsistent. Pulling up some and letting other blatant ones go.

  Lol what a waste of time, most tries are already checked by the bunker, if they get it wrong and you challenge the decision who is going to make the call? the idiots that got it wrong in the first place?, if they came to a decision after reviewing the play a thousand times in the first instance why would they come back with a different decision after a challenge?.

  We need to be making less decisions by video not more, give the refs the power they use to have and just accept there will be mistakes.

  It's guess they doing it coz these refs go to bunker for everything. If so then why re-train the refs. They need remedial training it's gotten that bad. Half of them can't even get hand signals correct to signal what the penalty was for which basic 101 to ref properly.

  I don't know how I feel about this trial, but I am over the amount of changes to the game.
  They seem to change something each year....
  I had to laugh the other day when the NRL said they'd gained 5-10 hours (may be wrong on this figure) in the game with the use of the shot clock. If people cannot see that scums, dropouts etc are still slow the NRL has to be kidding themselves. We watched at least three times on Monday a scrum waiting to be packed but players knowing that the shot clock wasn't down low enough. It's boring seeing players stand still and do nothing waits for a scrums etc.
